You stumbled upon one of the best real estate investing sites on the internet!

I've been a programmer now for 12 years.

I decided to start with flipping and about 2 months ago i got myself a mentor ( a real one, not an internet guru) and started diving into it. 2 months later I'm still sitting trying to piece together my first deal.

Individual situations vary and it's impossible for someone over the internet to give you specific advice without knowing all of the details of your situation.

If you are new and do not have other online profiles (Facebook, LinkedIn, no Google Business Page / Reviews) this can be a bit risky as the savvy internet user is not going to just toss up info.   

Unfortunately, the part is no longer made by the manufacturer and I haven't been able to find an extra part "laying around" via the Internet. 

My Salary rose from an Entry level programmer of $32k in 1997 to well over $100k by the year 2000.What also helped was that I lived below my means.Combining having a good paying profession and living below my means, it allowed me to pursue Investments with Disposable money.

The agent told me to “just make one up... find a form on the internet and fill it in”.

Go to your local REIA meetings and connect with them on the Internet using BiggerPockets, Craigslist, Facebook Groups, etc.

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable free resources on the internet for real estate investors new and old, Quincy.
